Steele Hollow Vintage is the latest evolution of my 20-year career dealing in vintage clothing. I could probably start back even a few years earlier to when I was bitten by the vintage bug in high school. I eventually decided to turn my passion into a job when I opened my brick-and-mortar vintage shop called The Rag and Bone in 1995 in State College, Pennsylvania. Being in a college town, I focused primarily on vintage from the 1960s, ‘70s, and ‘80s with the free-spirited college student in mind. In 2009, I opened my Rag and Bone Etsy shop to try my hand at selling to a worldwide market. By 2012, I got a little restless, so I decided to close my State College store to sell online full time.
Over the last few years, I’ve found my vintage tastes more inspired by high-quality, distinctive, beautiful, earlier styles of vintage. You could say, as I’ve matured on this journey of selling vintage, so has my appreciation for the finer vintage I aim to sell.
Since closing my storefront, I have run my vintage business out of my home on Steele Hollow Road. My business is very much a part of who I am and now, a part of my home. I get so much inspiration working from home – my house is quite old with lots of history, and I am surrounded by my own vintage treasures and favorite finds. It’s from here, on Steele Hollow, that I work to bring the carefully chosen vintage pieces I find, back to life to be loved again by someone new.

Thank you so much for your interest in Steele Hollow Vintage!
